Waxing help advice

I want to purchase a car polisher, which one you guys recommend? I have a dark gray 2007 tl. After I was the car, what's the process for waxing the car? Which brands do you guys recommend when it comes to the waxes and pads? Thanks. And my car is basically scratch free.

Wax/sealants are for protection & gloss .... polishes are abrasive and used to correct paint deffects and remove oxidization and produce a shiny surface for the wax/sealant

You should get a Porter Cable 7424XP buffer. I can almost guarantee your car has scratches, you just arent looking hard enough, lol.

Thanks foe the replies. So i see a lot of you guys recommend the porter cable buffers. How about the pads? Cuz I'm aware they have different roughness. About the scratches, it does have little scratches, but my other hondas have a lot of them.

Honda/Acura is pretty soft and I've had success with 5.5" white polishing pads.
